Innovative church planting

WORKSHOP TITLE:

Paleo Multiplication

WHEN:

Wednesday 18th October, Session 4: 1:45pm – 2:45pm

SPEAKER / PRESENTER:

Emilio Alvarez

Associate Provost for Lifelong Learning Asbury Theological Seminary

DESCRIPTION:

With the advent of terms such as multiplication, remissioning and revitalization has come an unusual amount of attention on business or secular models for doing church planting. Missing in almost every contemporary resource regarding church multiplication is an ad fontes of sorts regarding aspects of mission, evangelization and multiplication within early Christian tradition (post New Testament). This workshop looks to explore such themes (mission, evangelization and multiplication) within the life and writings of the early Fathers and Mothers of the church in hopes that by recovering aspects of Paleo-Multiplication, contemporary efforts may become more biblically rooted and ecclesiologically sound.
